Are you looking for new products to add your gift store? perhaps you are considering opening a small gift shop or cart in the mall and looking for product ideas. If you haven’t considered Egyptian Gifts and Egyptian Jewelry yet here are some ideas to get you started:

Glass perfume bottles are very popular. Actually, they are not just for storing perfume. They can be use to decorate or accentuate rooms around the house. Very popular as wedding and bridal favors and birthday favors. I even got an email from a lady that wants them for her Message in a Bottle business. We carry a wide variety of bottles both decorative styles and animal shapes.

Christmas Ornaments will be our second suggestion for you. This is more of a seasonal item but it will get you a lot of business during the season. Keep in mind that customers find it easier and more convenient to do their shopping in fewer places, so if you offer them more products, and more products they want, you are likely to generate more sales and higher $$ per sale. These ornaments have lots of uses. They are bought by families to decorate their christmas trees. More often people buy them as gifts to others, friends or family. It is also a great idea as a christmas gift for employees, either as a reward or simply a seasonal gift to build up the team spirit.

Khan Al-Khalili is an old market located near the center of Cairo city in Egypt. As any tourist that ever visited Egypt before, this is one of the must-see parts of Cairo. As you enter Al Azhar area you are greeted with wafts of strong spice aromas that engulf you in thousands of years of history. As you get nearer to the entrance to the bazaar area the aromas get stronger, suddenly you find yourself in narrow cobblestone streets with small shops on both sides. Automotive traffic stops and yields the narrow streets to hundreds of pedestrians, from tourists satisfying their curiosity to Egyptians going about their daily routine.

The shops in this area sell everything from spices and perfumes to handmade wood crafts and mother of pearl boxes. The most notable thing though is the glass perfume bottles. You will usually find them in small shops that sell the bottles and also the perfume oils. These bottles are made of clear glass and are hand blown one piece at a time. The sizes and shapes range from the tiny (less that one inch) to the fairly sized ones (7 inches tall). Such adorable bottles have lots of uses in addition to holding perfume. They can be used as very nice decorative pieces around the house. I have seen them before on horizontal surfaces to create a nice tablescape maybe near the house entrance or in the living room. It can also be used in bathrooms to add a bit of ambience to that space. Perfume bottles are very popular as friendship gifts but even more popular as romantic gifts. Their elegance combined with their delicate nature makes them a true winner of love and affection. We can’t conclude without pointing you to one of our favorite sites that specialized in wedding favors, there you will find another great use for these cute little bottles as wedding and shower favors.
